Your MicroTurb™ has been pre-programmed to backwash every 5 days or 2,000 gallons
(whichever occurs first) and to perform the backwash process at 12:30am in the morning
when it is very unlikely that water will be required in the building. If water is required during
the backwash process, untreated water will be permitted to flow to meet your service needs.
You may edit the frequency and duration of the backwash based on your water conditions.
You may also alter the time of day that the backwash process occurs if 12:30am is not ideal
for you. If you have a water softener or other automatic backwashing water treatment
systems, make sure that they are not set to regenerate at the same time. We recommend
that they backwash/regenerate at least 2 hours apart. Follow the instructions under
“Changing Basic Settings” to change the frequency or backwash time if desired. If you want
to change the duration of the backwash or final rinse cycles, these settings must be edited in
the “Master Settings Mode” – see below for details.
Step 8 – Initial Start-up and Leak Testing
Ensure that the bypass is in the bypass position. Turn on the main water supply. Open a
cold water tap nearby and let the water run for a few minutes or until the system is free of
foreign material (usually solder) and air that may have resulted from the installation. Once
the water is running clear and free of air, close the water tap.
INSPECT YOUR PLUMBING CONNECTIONS AND CONTROL VALVE FOR LEAKS AND
REPAIR ANY LEAKS FOUND BEFORE PROCEEDING.
DO NOT INITIATE A REGENERTION OF THIS SYSTEM FOR A MINIMUM OF 2 HOURS
AFTER ADDING WATER TO THE MEDIA TANK TO ALLOW ADEQUATE PRE-SOAKING.
BACKWASHING BEFORE THE MEDIA IS SATURATED COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF MEDIA
AND POTENTIAL DAMAGE TO THE CONTROL VALVE.
